A native Apple Silicon build has been confirmed running on Macs in the Rosetta Check community.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionA native Apple Silicon build of PhotoSketcher exists. If you are still running the Intel version under Rosetta, updating to the native build will give you better performance and battery life on Apple Silicon Macs. The Mac App Store is the most reliable distribution channel for PhotoSketcher — open the App Store on your Mac, search for PhotoSketcher, and install or update it from there. The App Store automatically serves the correct native build to M-series Macs. Alternatively, if PhotoSketcher was obtained directly from the vendor's website, visit the official download page and re-download the current version, which should be a Universal Binary installer that includes both Intel and Apple Silicon code.
